Masters Document Abstract: Two obstacles impede quality evaluation of teacher-librarians: misconceptions surrounding the role of the teacher-librarian and the administration of standard teaching evaluation forms. After examining current evaluation practices, an initial conception phase was undertaken towards the development of a comprehensive teacher-librarian specific growth and evaluation model. This proposed model, consisting of checklists, rubrics, and portfolio development, will provide teacher-librarians and administrators with instruments to set realistic, pertinent, and attainable goals and the means to facilitate the attainment of these goals.
The following articles and resources elaborate on these roles.
